You might see this a joke, but, according to me, the most inspiring plea for Earth, to wanderers, was made by Tolkien thorough Sam Gamgee speech. Reading it carefully you will see how much is addressed to wanderers:
It’s all wrong.
By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are.
It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something. That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
Every time I feel this planet is too much I listen to this or I read this and my heart is opening up yet again. It is so easy to quit, but then according to Q'uo, regardless of how hard we try here now, we will still be disappointed, once we cross, for not trying harder. Just imagine how huge of a disappointment must be when quitting.
The truth is there is kindness and beauty in this world which is visible to us and we came here to fight for it. Fight is not pleasant but we wanted this chance to make a difference. Why quit when we are exactly where we are supposed to be, exactly where we wanted to be?
